Middlewares

Dedupe Retry  Throttling cache  Delay

Dedupe

Prevents having multiple identical requests on the fly at the same time.

Options

  • skip : (url, opts) => boolean

If skip returns true, then the dedupe check is skipped.

  • key : (url, opts) => string

Returns a key that is used to identify the request.

Usage

import wretch from 'wretch'
import { dedupe } from 'wretch-middlewares'

wretch().middlewares([
    dedupe({
        /* Options - defaults below */
        skip: (url, opts) => opts.skipDedupe || opts.method !== 'GET',
        key: (url, opts) => opts.method + '@' + url
    })
])./* ... */

Retry

Retries a request multiple times in case of an error (or until a custom condition is true).

Options

  • delayTimer : milliseconds

The timer between each attempt.

  • delayRamp : (delay, nbOfAttempts) => milliseconds

The custom function that is used to calculate the actual delay based on the the timer & the number of attemps.

  • maxAttempts : number

The maximum number of retries before resolving the promise with the last error. Specifying 0 means infinite retries.

  • until : (fetchResponse, error) => boolean | Promise<boolean>

The request will be retried until that condition is satisfied.

  • onRetry : ({ response, error, url, options }) => { url?, options? } || Promise<{url?, options?}>

Callback that will get executed before retrying the request. If this function returns an object having url and/or options properties, they will override existing values in the retried request. If it returns a Promise, it will be awaited before retrying the request.

  • retryOnNetworkError : boolean

If true, will retry the request if a network error was thrown. Will also provide an 'error' argument to the onRetry and until methods.

Usage

import wretch from 'wretch'
import { retry } from 'wretch-middlewares'

wretch().middlewares([
    retry({
        /* Options - defaults below */
        delayTimer: 500,
        delayRamp: (delay, nbOfAttempts) => delay * nbOfAttempts
        maxAttempts: 10,
        until: (response, error) => response && response.ok,
        onRetry: null,
        retryOnNetworkError: false
    })
])./* ... */

// You can also return a Promise, which is useful if you want to inspect the body:
wretch().middlewares([
    retry({
        until: response =>
            response.json().then(body =>
                body.field === 'something'
            )
    })
])

Throttling cache

A throttling cache which stores and serves server responses for a certain amount of time.

Options

  • throttle : milliseconds

The response will be stored for this amount of time before being deleted from the cache.

  • skip : (url, opts) => boolean

If skip returns true, then the dedupe check is skipped.

  • key : (url, opts) => string

Returns a key that is used to identify the request.

  • clear (url, opts) => boolean

Clears the cache if true.

  • invalidate (url, opts) => string | RegExp | Array<string | RegExp> | null

Removes url(s) matching the string or RegExp from the cache. Can use an array to invalidate multiple values.

  • condition response => boolean

If false then the response will not be added to the cache.

  • flagResponseOnCacheHit string

If set, a Response returned from the cache whill be flagged with a property name equal to this option.

Usage

import wretch from 'wretch'
import { throttlingCache } from 'wretch-middlewares'

wretch().middlewares([
    throttlingCache({
        /* Options - defaults below */
        throttle: 1000,
        skip: opts.skipCache || opts.method !== 'GET',
        key: (url, opts) => opts.method + '@' + url,
        clear: (url, opts) => false,
        invalidate: (url, opts) => null,
        condition: response => response.ok,
        flagResponseOnCacheHit: '__cached'
    })
])./* ... */

Delay

Delays the request by a specific amount of time.

Options

  • time : milliseconds

The request will be delayed by that amount of time.

Usage

import wretch from 'wretch'
import { delay } from 'wretch-middlewares'

wretch().middlewares([
    delay(1000)
])./* ... */
